What GP means (I imagine, anyway) is that your post has a whole bunch of words in it without really saying what you think. Because you haven't really staked out an opinion, after throwing up some serious-sounding phrases, the whole thing comes off as vaguely "both sides-y" and thus not very helpful?

I was confused about your post, too. What did you mean?

Its helpful to those that understood it and who understand what the stakes are, and also in giving the necessary words people need for a time when they will need them.

If you are unable to see anything wrong with where the behavior I describe leads inevitably, you deserve the outcomes that are coming.

Make no mistake death is not uncommon when these types of systems fail towards their logical conclusion, if left to propagate forward unabated, the outcome is an inevitable cascade. Its a part of a cycle that's happened many times in the past with the same conclusion.

This has happened before many times in history, and it will happen again until we learn our lessons as a people.

This time it will be much worse because so much of our population is wholly dependent on technological systems that will fail to deliver enough food when those societal failures do occur.

If you can't see where this path of coercion, compulsion, and other intolerable acts have led us in the past, no amount of words will convince you otherwise.

You would have to learn by experience, and the downsides firsthand, and by then it would be too late to do or be anything other than a victim of circumstance.

What odds do you give yourself or your children of survival when those failures occur and suddenly 8-12 billion have to subsist on practices available that can only at their theoretical maxima feed 2-4 billion.

I just want to let you know that even if you believe in the words you are saying, these kind of hollow empty platitudes have historically been weaponized by bad faith agitators to either perpetuate or propagate abuse.

I already gave you one example: reactionaries appropriated those criticizing Trump's policies as "fascist" to call those that disagree with public health lockdowns as the same.

Likewise, your original terms of "flawed and self-defeating beliefs" and "mentally ill" are currently being weaponized by the same people to brandish transgender people as harmful ideologues.

Just thought you should know, in the slim hope that you don't. Because if you do, you either don't care or are doing it on purpose. Both of which are harmful.

Ultimately, you sound like AI-generated. You say a lot of words that individually have meaning without saying anything at all.
